Cincinnati Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco insisted that his team is better than its 2-9 record indicates, and said they plan on putting up a string fight over these next five weeks.

As for Sunday's upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints, he specifically promised a "messy Sunday." Though he wouldn't say exactly what he meant by that, it was likely a reference to recently-murdered New Orleans rapper and comedian Messy Mya, who was known for messing with people in his popular YouTube videos.

"We're hungry. We're looking to get that W, to get things rolling and get that losing taste out of our mouths," Ochocinco said of his Bengals, who are on an eight-game losing streak. "This week, I'm quoting, it's gonna be a 'messy Sunday.' That's my theme for this game.

"I'm not gonna tell you (what that means), but if you're from the area of New Orleans or anywhere in Louisiana, you will understand exactly what I mean. I'm gonna have a messy Sunday. We as a team are gonna have messy catches and messy touchdowns. And I'm gonna give them the messy shoulder."

Ochocinco did compliment the reigning Super Bowl champions, however, when asked if he thinks Cincinnati will have a home-field advantage against the Dome-based team. The early forecast calls for clear skies, but a high temperature of 39 degrees Sunday.

"It means nothing at all," Ochocinco said. "I think the Saints have enough experience of being in the postseason of having to sometimes go on the road to play in games where it's cold. And regardless, they have grown to learn how to win and adapt to climate. It's irrelevant in this situation."
